  1. Gut-Healing Foods and Their Impact on Mental Health Dr. Jordan Atkinson B.Sc. ND

  2. Fermented Foods Fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi are rich in probiotics. Probiotics maintain a healthy gut microbiome, which is crucial for producing serotonin, the "feel-good" neurotransmitter. Fibre-Rich Foods Fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains are essential for gut health. Fibre acts as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria. A high-fiber diet is linked to lower levels of depression and anxiety.

  3. Omega-3 Fatty Acids Foods like fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts are high in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s reduce gut inflammation and support brain health, alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety. Bone Broth Bone broth is rich in collagen, amino acids, and minerals, supporting gut health. Collagen repairs the gut lining, preventing "leaky gut" syndrome, which is associated with mental health issues.

  4. Dark Chocolate Dark chocolate contains polyphenols that act as prebiotics, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Flavonoids in dark chocolate improve mood and cognitive function.
